Legal Question in Discrimination Law in Illinois
A coworker (A) was involved in a dispute at work. Another coworker (B) was on the other side of the dispute who frequently came into her (A's) office charged her with sexual harrasment. (B) is on extremely good terms with the building supervisor. The charges were determined to be without basis. (A) took a voluntary reassignment to a different work location to get out of the situation. I have been reassigned to her office. (B) now comes into my office on a regular basis. Because I was a witness for (A) in the previous labor dispute, (B's) presence in my office makes me quite nervous. I do not want to be vulnerable to any of his unfounded charges. Is there anything I can do to stop this?

When you write "Is there anything I can do to stop this?" do you mean your reassignment or have you been subjected to abusive conduct by B?
